Another week, another event postponement, this time it's the Tour de France. It will now start on 29 August, following the French government's extension of a ban on mass gatherings to mid-July because of the coronavirus pandemic. Geraint Thomas, winner of the 2018 Tour de France, gives us his reaction to the news. Will it go ahead as planned? Hannah Mills discusses putting her retirement on hold as she plans to defend her Olympic title and become the most successful female sailor in Olympic history. Martin Bisp, the co-founder of Empire Fighting Chance, joins us to talk about how he is using boxing to help vulnerable young people during the pandemic. And it might seem like we'll have to wait a while for our next sporting fix, but the PDC is launching a new tournament featuring darts players in their own homes. World Champion Peter Wright is competing and joins the podcast.
